Distinguished from the other species of tbe genus by the 
4-partite perianth of the male flowers. Perhaps most nearly 
allied to Æ. bongensis, Pax (which I have not seen, and of which 
only male specimens are described), which it resembles in the 
close aggregation of the male flowers, the numerous stamens and 
the form of the staminodes, but is distinguished by the 4-partite 
male perianth, narrower leaves, and pedunculate inflorescence. 
This species was also collected on Mt. Kilimanjaro, at 
Marangu, at 5000 ft., by Volkens (No. 2354).
